“I bought the car used at franklin sussex Dodge in franklin,nj with 70000 miles and two days after I noticed these problems. I lose control at highway speeds when hitting bumps or on turns.the rear of car sways and feels like a rocking boat and I hold on for dear life.I have had it aligned and it uses up new tires at 20000 miles in rear on inside.there needs to be a recall before someone gets killed to correct rear suspension.”
